London District Signals was a headquarters signal unit of the Royal Engineers (RE) and later Royal Corps of Signals in Britain's Territorial Army from 1908. It served with a corps headquarters at Gallipoli and on the Western Front during World War I, and later became an air defence signal unit during World War II. Its successor unit continues in the Army Reserve today. ==Origin== When the Territorial Force was created in 1908 as a result of the Haldane Reforms, the London Division, Electrical Engineers of the Royal Engineers (Volunteers) spun off three telegraph companies, later termed signal companies:〔(''London Gazette'', 20 March 1908. )〕〔(''London Gazette'', 14 October 1910. )〕〔Lord & Watson, p. 184.〕 * London Wireless Signal Company * London Cable Signal Company * London Air-Line Signal Company Together, these companies formed London District Signals, defined as 'Army Troops RE' in the TF organisation, serving HQ London District based at Horse Guards. The unit headquarters was at 12 Palmer Street, Westminster.〔''Army List'', August 1914.〕〔(London Cable Signal Company at Great War Forum )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「London District Signals」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
